Reviews for "Kingdom in the Clouds"

average

fair graphics, but too simple for an upgrade shooting game - there are no variations in the basic attack, the upgrades at max doesn't help much at later stages, and you can pretty much get all the upgrade points by repeating the first level over and over again, helped even more if you maxed the bird helper first.

There's hardly any excitement and the basic attack gets redundant after a while.

OK could have been better

The lag after the forest stage is very noticeable even on a dell optiplex 745. The upgrades mostly are worthless. The cloud attack only speeds up by a fraction of a second from when it is maxed as compared to when it is at starting level. The cloud barrier is durable at first until you come to the last area and ahve to deal with the wrestler. The other enemy with a rocket takes half your life away but only takes on hit to kill but good luck as the enemies bunch up and it is hard to hit it. There is a 3 second delay in firing the thunder attack and let me tell you there is nothing more irritating than hammering the S key trying to get it to fire when your little girl is being assaulted as you are now out of cloud barriers that disappear after one hit from the wrestler and she dies before the game even registers the attack. I swear I lost the last level twice just due to that delay.

Also the keys for these attacks are too close together. Attempting to hit the cloud barrier button and hitting S and wasting a lightning attack is incredibly irritating.

Some things that could have been improved: Ability to jump while carrying the girl, no dealy in lightning attack (you already charged it up so whats the deal?), nerf the rocket bomber, space out attack keys and remove the lag.

I hate grinding

You scaled the levels up WAY too fast.
I had to go back to level 1 to grind up and since you only have pretty much one lightning per level you have to save it for the right moment when your about to get fucked. I barely beat the last level. And most of the upgrades are useless unless there level 5. Lightning is unuseable till level 5 and upgrading fire rate is a waste of money because the game lags from the background animations anyway so you shoot the same speed. The only level where there was no lag was the Starry Night section. Did you even test play this game? Like halfway through Nibus Basin the difficulty spikes WAY the fuck up and then you have to grind. It has potential for a fun, cute game but as is, its mediocre at best.

what the hell is this

im sorry but this is to random o_o

I thought that this game was going to be a lot better than it really was. The art and music are great so I thought everything else would be too. What annoyed me most is that you attack never got stronger. Even with the lowest cool down rate the enemies will still gang up on you. When there are many enemies on the screen you seem to attack even more slowly than usual. Being able to put up two cloud walls at a time would have helped a lot since the enemies just keep coming from both sides and easily destroy the walls. I couldn't even get the zap attack bar to fill up completely. Since the upgrade for the zap attack was for its cool down time I figured that you would at least have a full bar when you start the level. However, the bar is always empty when a level begins and you have to wait for it to slowly fill up to even use it. Plus the repetitive lines of dialog become very annoying. Another thing is that you will get hurt and not even notice. Some indication of you taking harm would have been very useful because I have died because I didn't notice I was even getting hurt. The mechanic of moving your sister around is pretty pointless because you can't even jump over enemies while you are holding her. Plus by the time you put her down you have to move her again anyway. I wanted to start throwing her at them. It probably would have been more effective than your stupid cloud attack too. Just because the character is designed to look fat and slow doesn't mean that it has to handle that way too. Overall I was really dissapointed with this game. It could have been awesome, but it was just mediocre.
